German president Steinmeier seeks Polish forgiveness for Nazi ‘tyranny’
- vixen99 7y agoEither we do or we don't bear the sins of our fathers. If the latter then use of the word 'forgiveness' is ridiculous. A different form of language should be used on such an occasion. Essentially – regret that 'some of our ancestors acted in this way'. Of course, it's corporate guilt that's implied. But how can that be unless the corporate rules (the constitution and laws in the case of a country) are the same as the ones which applied when the original 'sin' was committed. In the case of Germany they are obviously not.
